A holdback? meaning that 1 gb is not enough?! that's horrible. I have a 6800GT with 1 gb? I went with 1 gb because everyone said that 2 gb was overkill. In order to upgrade to 2 gb i have to ditch my 2 sticks of 512. That's crappy.
This is ridiculous. So Im sitting here with a whopper card, and my RAM is what is bottlenecking the system. I have a buyer for my old RAM. But i dont want to do it unless its gonna give me a NOTICABLE increase in performance

From my experience of both games, BF2 would appear alot more memory hungry than FEAR, as if I set any option to high it would instantly go all laggy on me.
